edit: Sources say the player is Jovan Belcher. Police have yet to confirm.

An unnamed Kansas City Chiefs player has committed suicide at the team facility and authorities are on the scene, the police confirmed to ESPN on Saturday morning.

Local reports say police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself at around 8 a.m local time. The Associated Press reported the player's age to be 25.

"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."

There were no other injuries at the team facility, police said.

The Chiefs (1-10) were preparing to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The NFL has told the Panthers to travel as planned to Kansas City on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer has reported, citing interim general manager Brandon Beane.

I'm just saying there's all sorts of shit i could be doing! I could watch a movie, play a video game, rub one out, read a book, learn a foreign language, etc.. But i'm still watching the assholes because i love them, and I hate myself

I remember when Seau did himself. I was pissed based on the fact that teenage suicide rates are skyrocketing and Seau, as a hero to thousands, wasn't doing anybody any favors by taking the selfish way out.

I suppose the silver lining in this case is that Belcher was fairly unknown. My heart goes out to his girlfriend and all the other people affected by these stupid, selfish, actions.

Meanwhile, my crazy brain wanders and I begin to wonder about whether or not the Chiefs have a decent player-support program in place. My hatred of Pioli is so extreme, I can't help thinking that they have probably cut back on those kinds of initiatives as a cost-saving measure.

What a freaking mess. My condolences to all Chiefs fans for having to deal with this.
